Is a person who is homozygous recessive for a recessive genetic diseases a carrier?
No, because he or she cannot pass the gene on to his or her offspring (because he or she does not have a copy of the gene).

No, because he or she cannot pass the gene on to his or her offspring (because he or she does not have a copy of the gene).
Is a person who is homozygous recessive for a recessive genetic disese a carrier?
As long as a persons genotype consists of at least one recessive gene, they can pass it on to offspring to give them the disease, which makes them a carrier. Since this persons genes are both recessive, it is definite that they will pass on the recessive gene.
What word is a synonym to homozygous recessive?
A synonym for homozygous recessive is "homozygous for a recessive trait." This term refers to an individual who has two identical recessive alleles for a particular gene. In genetic notation, it is often represented as "aa," where "a" signifies the recessive allele.

What kind of diseases are the most common genetic diseases (?
Recessive Autosomal
Is cystic fibrosis carried on a dominant of recessive gene?
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disease.
What is being carried by a genetic carrier?
A genetic carrier has a dominant and a recessive version of an allele. Normally, the term genetic carrier is used in relation to genetic illnesses where two copies of the recessive allele cause that illness. Therefore, a carrier does not have the illness themself (as the dominant, non-disease allele is expressed over the recessive allele). However, they have the ability to create an offspring who has the double recessive genotype and therefore has the condition if they mate with another carrier or someone who is double recessive (who has the disease).
Name 2 genetic disorders that are homozygous recessive?

Which of mike's traits are homozygous recessive?
To determine which of Mike's traits are homozygous recessive, we would need specific information about his genetic makeup or the traits in question. Homozygous recessive traits are typically represented by two lowercase letters (e.g., aa) for a given gene. If you provide details about Mike's traits or the specific genes, I can help identify which might be homozygous recessive.
What kind of diseases of the most common genetic diseases?
recessive autosomal
What genotypes are produced by a program of inbreeding?
Inbreeding tends to produce homozygous genotypes, meaning the offspring have two identical alleles at a particular locus. This can increase the expression of recessive genetic traits and potentially lead to genetic disorders. The genotypic variations in the offspring decrease as inbreeding continues.
Are most genetic diseases evenly distributed among ethnic groups?
The problem with genetic diseases is that they are never gone. Say bob has the hemophelia desease and his wife is a carrier of the disease as well. Their children have a one in two chance of having the disease or being carriers because the disease is recessive. Now if bob's wife was not a carrier, their children would have a one in one chance of being a carrier. The problem is the disease is spread by the carriers.
